Who Am I?

Hi my name’s Dave and I have an engineering degree that I obtained in 2014 from McMaster university (in Canada). I’ve been programming games since I was very young and I absolutely love making them 100% from scratch. I’ve made countless games and even have some that are 40,000+ lines of code long.

I’m so excited to start teaching you and can’t wait to share my many years of game programming experience and technical expertise with you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there multithreading?
The simulation works best when it's updated from the bottom row to the top row. Splitting it up into pieces for multithreading would make it look separated/weird. Given that, and the fact that modern computers are very fast, I decided not to do any multithreading.

I’m worried about performance, will it run at 60 fps?
I have many low end computers that are 5-10 years old and they all run the game at 60 fps no problem.

How long is the code?
It’s about 2150 lines by the end.
